Cookies

Everyone can make a chocolate chip cookie and it is usually involves some type of creaming of the butter and sugars. This is what makes this recipe unique (and ridiculously sinful). Everything is done in one glorious saucepan. You melt the butter completely and then add the sugars. The aroma that comes from the sugars as they dissolve into the butter is heavenly. It adds a rich, toffee flavor to the cookies that you don't get from creaming and creates a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter

• 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 egg yolk

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 2 cups flour

• 1 cup uncooked rolled oats

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• Salt

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 cup white chocolate chips

• 1 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until melted. Remove from the heat.

Add the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar and stir until sugars are incorporated and smooth. Chill the mixture for 10 minutes.

Remove from the refrigerator and stir in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.

Add the flour, oats, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cinnamon and mix together.

Stir in the white chips and chocolate chips.

Roll by hand into 24 medium-size balls or use a scoop, and place on a light-colored cookie sheet.

Chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 325 º F. Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
